Newspaper Advertising.
The St. Paul Globe,

1
The business world is rapidly getting
around to the idea that there is no sort
of advertising pays SO will as news
paper advertising. Adam Forepaugh,
the veteran circus proprietor, is among
the late prominent converts to this
idea. Mr.. Forepaugh has heretofore
used the red-lettered posters as his
favorite and principal advertising
medium. According to his own state
ment, he has been spending S15 a day
in red literature advertisements. After
many years experience he is convinced
that he has been throwing away a great
deal of money in this way. He is sat
istled in his own mind that there is no
medium of putting his attraction be-
fore the public so valuable as the
columns of the newspapers, and has
accordinly instructed his advertising
agents to discontinue the bill posting
method and to pay the S15 day that
has heretofore been expended in deco
rating walls to the newspapers in the
towns visited by his circus. r.
Forepaugh's opinion is valuable, be-
cause of his experience, which has
taught him that more people read the
newspapers than posters

While ante election returns in gen
eral are of very little value, all the
figuring and specializing that can be
done beforehand not being worth n
single line dispatch on the night of

frain from submitting the following
fact for the consideration of certain
over sanGrine republican brothers of
the press, who speak of the result of
1884 rs an accident and claim to be
able to read their title clear to success
in the national campaign of 1888: The
democratic party, over which they
claim to be sure of such an easy victory.
has, with one single exception, carried
the country at every general election
for the fifteen years last paSt-the one
exception being in 1880, when Garfield
was elected over Hancock by the insig-
niticant plurality of S,i64 ON the pop
ular vote, and Il republican majority of
less than was returned to the forty
seventh congress. If the country goes
against democracy in the next pres
idential campaign it will be more than
an accident, it will be simply political
revolution.

Shut out the Gamblers.

The Shullsburg Pick and Cad thus
forcibly denounces the practice of
permitting the professional gamblers
to infest agricultural fairs:
"As the time for holding fairs and
other gatherings of that nature ap-
proacheS it would be well for the man
ayers of such affairs to take steps to
prevent the great influx of bunko
steerers, three card monte men, and
gamblers in general who iufest such
places. They are worthless fellows
who are violators of the law, and
vampires who feed upon an usuSpect-
ing public. Their chief business is to
Seduce and rob the innocent and I'M
wary, and it is the duty of the law
fully constituted authorities to put a
stop to their nefariouS practices. The
effects of gambling upon the growing
generation are bad, and the chuck a
luck and other bunko games that are
So frequently permitted at fairs and
races are generally so managed that
by the use of cappers and confeder-
ates the proprietor of the game is able
to beat his unsuspecting victim out
of his last cent while the poor dupe
is confident that he is betting on a
sure thing. The penalties for aiding
these gambling schemes are severe,
and the laws upon that subject should
he enforced "

The independents and civil service
reformers are evidently not sorry for
supporting Mr. Cleveland in 1884.
Harper's Weekly says that the one
man who has done more to call atten-
tion to the question and advance the
cause of civil service reform is the
present executive, and The Boston
Herald, which is representative indie
pendent newspaper says:
"The president has enforced the law
as it stands in good faith. In some
cases he has gone beyond it, and dis
played the reform spirit in offices not
covered by the law. We wish he had
done more of this, but we had no right
to expect it of him. He is Democrat
and as a Democrat he was elected te
the high office of president. His party
had been kept out of office twenty-four
years. Where new appointments were
TO be made, it was expected that, out,
side of the operation of the civil service
law, he would appoint Democrats
other things being equal. He has
generally made good selections. The
country has learned that its affairs car
be safely intrusted to Democrats as
well as Republicans. For so much W,
are thankful. The president is ahead
of his party-we believe that he j:
ahead of either party-as civil service
reformer Now let us go to work ane
brace up the country to sustain N
extension of the reform idea"

For "A real ravenOus appetite for
public Office republicans can discount
the hungry" democrats every time
The Madison Democrat says:
THE most important appointment
President Cleveland has had to make
since he has been in office, did not
cause any greater scramble than OF
the past several weeks in the capitol
of this state over the Office of probate
judge Of La Crosse county"
The contest referred to was finally
decided by the appointment of Thomas
A. Dyson to fill the vacant judgeship.
If single appointment causes such
an excitement in the republican camp,
there would indeed be some scrambling
if that party had the filling of all the
offices under the federal government.

CIRCULATION / ,o5e-
Friday. September 2, 1887.

In specializing on the crop of con
gressmen in Wisconsin for 1888, a
Madison correspondent of The Mil
waukee Sunday Telegraph says;
In the third district Mr.. LaFollette
is likely to be renominated, although
there are several ambitious gentlemen
in the district who hope some day to
congress. If he is he is nominated
again of course he will be elected He
has made a very good record; is sys-
tematic. What he has done is well
done.
Wonder where The Telegraph man
got the startling information that there
are several ambitious republicans in
this district who would like to go to
congress. 1t can hardly be possible.

The State Journal says that arrang-
ments are being pushed forward for
the proper reception of the President
and Mrs. Cleveland on their visit to
Madison October the s, 9 and 10.
Mayor ConkliH says he feels assured
Madison will do its part towards well
coming the cOuntry's chief magistrate
and lady,-not as a prominent demo
crat and wife, but as president of the
United States and the first lady of the
land. He will soon appoint the com
mittee of 100 citizens authorized by
the common council. This committee
it to be composed equally of democrats
and republicans. 1t will be empower
ed to constitute its own subcommittee
and make all necessary arrangements.
The mayor says he finds the disposition
to give the distinguished visitors a
royal welcome freely expressed by all
classes. The probability is that the
surrounding towns will send in delega-
tons to swell the gathering of people
to an immense size. The details of
the programme to be mapped out can
not, as yet, be given. 1t is probable a
general reception will be given at the
capitol Saturday evening. 1t is also
thought speeches of welcome will be
made by prominent officials, both of the
state and city, with possibly response
by the president. The party will re-
main in Madison until Monday after
noon when they will leave in a special
car attached to the $50 p. NJ. passen-
ger on the Northwestern road for st.
